About this book
Introduction: Ecology of planktonic protozoa has attained a high standard in terms of methods and interpretation of data. Even minor details are investigated with sophisticated techniques and at considerable expense. If, however, one looks at the identification of the organisms involved, the standard is often poorer than it was 50 years ago. It seems many ecologists forget that they are dealing with organisms. This deficiency seriously limits the usefulness of the data of, for example, grazing experiments and the analysis of community dynamics. If the species involved are not thoroughly identified and the differences to other described populations are not mentioned, the data will hardly be reproducible because each species, and perhaps most populations of a certain species, has special ecological requirements. This ...

Hopefully, the present book, on which we worked for three years, not only shows how taxonomy and revisions should be performed, but also will contribute to make identifications more usual and reliable in protozooplankton science.
